Start with the list of suggested paper topics provided by Prof. Greenberg. If you have trouble selecting a topic from this list, or simply would like to explore additional topics, here are some ideas for finding a topic:

1. Read the comments, notes, and questions sections of your casebook. They will often highlight current, unresolved issues in the field.
2. Check out websites/blogs that focus on Sexuality, Gender, and the Law. They can be useful sources for current developments and cutting edge issues. Here are just a few:
   
   

   Feminist Law Professors

   Human Rights Campaign

   Gay Couples Law Blog
   
   Lambda Legal

3. For more on selecting a topic, see this brief article from the University of San Francisco School of Law Library.
4.  Please note, if you hope to go on to publish your article, you will have additional considerations in choosing your topic, including preemption and timeliness. Talk to Prof. Greenberg or a librarian for more on getting your paper published.
